My Boyfriend’s Back

(Spoken:)
He went away and you hung around
And bothered me, every night
And when I wouldn't go out with you
You said things that weren't very nice

My boyfriend's back and you're gonna be in trouble
(Hey-la-day-la my boyfriend's back)
You see him comin' better cut out on the double
(Hey-la-day-la my boyfriend's back)
You been spreading lies that I was untrue
(Hey-la-day-la my boyfriend's back)
So look out now 'cause he's comin' after you

(Hey-la-day-la my boyfriend's back)
(Hey, he knows that you been tryin')
(And he knows that you been lyin')

He's been gone for such a long time
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
Now he's back and things'll be fine
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
You're gonna be sorry you were ever born
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
'Cause he's kinda big and he's awful strong
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
Hey, he knows I wasn't cheatin'!
And you're gonna get a beatin'!

What made you think he'd believe all your lies? Wah-ooo, wah-ooo
You're a big man now but he'll cut you down to size – wah-ooo
Wait and see!

My boyfriend's back he's gonna save my reputation
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
If I were you, I'd take a permanent vacation
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)

Yeah, my boyfriend's back
(Lay-day-la, my boyfriend's back)
Look out now, yeah, my boyfriend's back
